Izel quotes from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

I can't wait to kill you.

Izel

Are you sure?

Dead certain.

Izel

Tell me why is that?

Because you robbed me of my family, the woman I love, my home. And then you took the one thing I had left, my memories of them.

Izel

It's not that I stole your memories, Sarge. It's that you never had any to begin with.

[Sarge is shooting Izel to no effect]

Izel

I know you're trying to hurt me. If it makes you feel any better, you are. Perhaps not in the way you intend, but it still hurts. Even so, it won't end me. And you don't even want that.

Of course I do. The same way you want to kill me.

Izel

Kill you? Oh, my poor dear. If I wanted to kill you, you'd be dead. I was trying to wake you up.

Oh, I'm awake. I'm awake enough to remember the people I loved, the family I had, and how it felt when you took them from me.

Izel

It's not true.

You're saying you didn't kill them?

Izel

I'm saying you didn't have a family. Those memories, they aren't yours.

That makes no sense!

Izel

Then how did I kill them? You can't recall because it didn't happen. The family isn't yours. It's a holdover, an echo from the man whose body you inhabit.

No, I don't understand.

Izel

I'm only beginning to fully understand myself. I always wondered how you got this form and where it came from. But now, in this place, they recognize that face here. Don't you see? The monoliths created your body, sent it back through time and space, back home to our realm. A planet where we have no form and yearn for it. This human body arrived. It had form. You took it over and lost yourself, lost me. And in return, you got everything that comes with this unwilling vessel.

So far, your doomsday ritual is a bit underwhelming.

Izel

This temple was built from the same stone as the Di'Allas. When they all resonate in harmony, they'll open a gateway to my home.

So you can go back there and never bother us again?

Izel

My family will come through and take over the Shrike hosts spread across the galaxy.

If it were that easy, you would've done it already.

Izel

True. With the Di'Allas destroyed, there isn't a way to complete the ritual. We must rebuild them.

That sounds like a you problem. And maybe you shouldn't tell us your bad-guy plans. That always happens right before the bad guy dies.

Izel

I'm telling you the problem because you're going to solve it for me. The three monoliths, as you call them you've seen them intact. You know what I can do with them. So your minds are going to create them for me.

But you can't do it yourself. That's why you need us.

Izel

I've already shown you that humans are incapable of controlling their fears.

But we're not afraid of you.

Our worst fears have nothing to do with you or the damn monoliths. It has to do with losing the people we love.

And we've already faced that fear. We're still here.

[To Sarge] Don't let that thing inside you take control. There is good in you. Look at me!

Izel

Your friend doesn't know when to quit. Tell me. What do you feel?

Anger. And fear. Fear of this pain that's been a knife in my heart for so long.

That's love. That pain is love. I know because I was afraid of it, too. But you let me feel it. You gave that gift to me. You pulled me out of that cubicle. You gave me purpose, a crew. Remember me. Remember us: Daisy and Mack and Yo-Yo, Fitz and Simmons. You love us.

You're right. It's love. The pain is love.

Yes.

And now I know how to end it. To cut it out of me. Slice it away and be done with it. [Stabs May with a sword and shoves her through the portal] How's that for a sign?

Izel

I see you discovered life and death are meaningless in this realm, which is why we find it so curious that you cling to one and dread the other. I sang my song. Connected our worlds. Now I will open the door to this temple so our kind can pass through, find a voice of their own.

Humans will fight back. Always do.
